A thorough bronchoscopic evaluation of the central airways, along with appropriate biopsy of suspicious lesions, is crucial. Endobronchial MALT lymphoma should be suspected when targeting multiple widely stalked and smooth submucosal nodules or protrusions, mainly located in the central airways.<\/jats:p>\n
